i found the repl driven workflow intriguing but i could never get into it. i am not an emacs user and the vim integration wasn't as good as slime promises to be and i couldn't really get comfortable running lisp from within vim. not ssure, i probably didn't try to hard. smalltalk on the other hand made this a lot easier. not repl driven but having an actual UI to manage code and handling errors it provides the same ability to fix issues at runtime without restarting but with a nicer interface to manage the code.
